Here's the answers:

Platform is Babur, STOP RWS is visible in this frame. Video is taken from the deck of the ship.




The wordings look like to say SMASH II (2 in roman italic)

*PAKISTAN NAVY DEMONSTRATES PRECISION STRIKE CAPABILITY WITH SUCCESSFUL ANTI-SHIP BALLISTIC MISSILE TEST*

In a resolute display of preparedness and precision-strike capability, Pakistan Navy successfully conducted a Live Weapon Firing of an indigenously developed Ship-Launched Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile, accurately engaging its target with high speed at extended range.

Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Naveed Ashraf, alongwith leading scientists and engineers, witnessed the missile firing.

The missile integrates a cutting-edge guidance system and advanced maneuverability, enabling it to evade threats, adapt to dynamic conditions, and deliver with precision and lethality. The successful launch of this indigenously developed missile underscores the fusion of technological excellence and operational expertise. This missile firing is a manifestation of Pakistan Navy’s commitment to maintaining credible sea-based deterrence in conventional domain and ensuring maritime security and stability in the region.

The President, Prime Minister, Chief of Defence Forces, and Services Chiefs have commended the participating units and scientists on achieving this milestone.

Is that khaibar?

Yeah. Can't say for sure what's written after SMASH. Only better images will make things clear.

Good news is that they have started integrating these with Baburs. Maybe Yarmooks-2 will follow.

Image is too blurry to tell.

Hope yarmooks dont go ASBM as well. With zulfis and baburs presumably all going asbm we need a lot of harbahs ij fleet as well so i hope yarmooks retain a full complement

Should have gone for VLS canister for Smash.

PNS Khaiber

I am curious with the current conflicts we have seen around the PG, Arabian Sea, Red Sea, how well would PNS Khaliber be able to handle drone swarms or multiple anti-ship ballistic missiles. Reading it has 12 cell VLS, so a role of coastal defence and limited support for a wider flotilla of ships should suit well.

Where? Do they even have the space on any PN vessel? VL also causes missiles to be significantly redesigned to be launched vertically. Fatah II is designed to be launched from box launcher, so box launcher on ships makes the most sense anyway. Ntm we cant afford to put enough VLS AD missiles on our ships where will we fit smash
